Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, in this situation, you must stop. The person in the high-visibility vest supervising the pedestrian crossing is giving a signal to stop using a 'STOP' sign (a 'lollipop' sign). According to Art. 6 para. 1 pt. 6 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to obey the commands and signals given by persons authorised to direct traffic. Continuing to drive is prohibited until the person directing traffic permits it.
